"Bull" Unambiguous (TV Episode 2016)

Prior to Trump ever becoming POTUS this episode S1.E3 of Bull aired Oct 11, 2016. In this episode "Unambiguous" the title character Bull explains a couple of things that in retrospect help explain how we got to this point with Trump.

The Backfire Effect is explained by Bull about halfway through this episode to describe how true believers will double down even when shown facts that disprove beliefs that they currently hold.

Also in the episode preview below Bull speaks to how he "changes juries minds" .. Which loosely describes how Cambridge Analytica was used to sway voters in the upcoming 2016 elections. It's also worth noting that Bull was produced by and based on Trump backer Dr Phil and his career as a jury consultant..
